Assessing the Climate and Habitability of Tidally Locked Rocky Exoplanets
Erica Bisesi, Giuseppe Murante, Jost von Hardenberg +5
Tidally locked exoplanets orbiting M dwarf stars are prime targets in the search for habitable worlds, yet their complex climate dynamics challenge conventional models of habitabil…
Euclid: Asteroid rotation periods from the Euclid Ecliptic Survey
B. Y. Irureta-Goyena, B. Altieri, J. -P. Kneib +142

Interaction between vegetation and Snowball phases in the late Proterozoic Earth
Erica Bisesi, Giuseppe Murante, Antonello Provenzale +3
Between 2.4 and 0.6 Gy ago, our planet underwent several episodes of global glaciations, including the Snowball Earth case that ended 635 My ago. Causes of this last Snowball event…
The ESPRESSO transmission spectrum of HD189733b : Extracting the planetary sodium and lithium signatures amid stellar contamination
D. Mounzer, W. Dethier, C. Lovis +20
While transmission spectroscopy has allowed us to detect many atomic and molecular species in exoplanet atmospheres, the improvement in resolution and signal-to-noise ratio enabled…
Alkali phenoxides in comets
M. Fulle, P. Molaro, A. Rotundi +4
Potassium was first detected in spectra of the sungrazer comet Ikeya-Seki at the heliocentric distance rh = 0.15 au and, 48 years later, in comets PanSTARRS and ISON at rh = 0.46 a…
Revisiting the multi-planetary system of the nearby star HD 20794: Confirmation of a low-mass planet in the habitable zone of a nearby G-dwarf
N. Nari, X. Dumusque, N. C. Hara +44
Close-by Earth analogs and super-Earths are of primary importance because they will be preferential targets for the next generation of direct imaging instruments. Bright and close-…
A sub-Earth-mass planet orbiting Barnard's star
J. I. Gonzalez Hernandez, A. Suarez Mascareno, A. M. Silva +37
Barnard's star is a primary target within the ESPRESSO guaranteed time observations (GTO) as it is the second closest neighbour to our Sun after the Centauri stellar system. We…
Impact of vegetation albedo on the habitability of Earth-like exoplanets
Erica Bisesi, Giuseppe Murante, Antonello Provenzale +8
Vegetation can modify the planetary surface albedo via the Charney mechanism, as plants are usually darker than the bare surface of the continents. We updated ESTM (Earth-like Surf…
Euclid: Early Release Observations -- A glance at free-floating new-born planets in the sigma Orionis cluster
E. L. Martín, M. {Ž}erjal, H. Bouy +175
We provide an early assessment of the imaging capabilities of the Euclid space mission to probe deeply into nearby star-forming regions and associated very young open clusters, and…
Detection of a high-velocity sodium feature on the ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-121 b
J. V. Seidel, F. Borsa, L. Pino +19
Ultra-hot Jupiters, with their high equilibrium temperatures and resolved spectral lines, have emerged as a perfect testbed for new analysis techniques in the study of exoplanet at…
Planetary system around LTT 1445A unveiled by ESPRESSO: Multiple planets in a triple M-dwarf system
B. Lavie, F. Bouchy, C. Lovis +32
We present radial velocity follow-up obtained with ESPRESSO of the M-type star LTT 1445A (TOI-455), for which a transiting planet b with an orbital period of~5.4 days was detected…
Detection of barium in the atmospheres of the ultra-hot gas giants WASP-76b and WASP-121b
T. Azevedo Silva, O. D. S. Demangeon, N. C. Santos +33
High-resolution spectroscopy studies of ultra-hot Jupiters have been key in our understanding of exoplanet atmospheres. Observing into the atmospheres of these giant planets allows…
Automatic model-based telluric correction for the ESPRESSO data reduction software. Model description and application to radial velocity computation
R. Allart, C. Lovis, J. Faria +21
Ground-based high-resolution spectrographs are key instruments for several astrophysical domains. Unfortunately, the observed spectra are contaminated by the Earth's atmosphere. Wh…
EOS-ESTM: A flexible climate model for habitable exoplanets
L. Biasiotti, P. Simonetti, G. Vladilo +8
Rocky planets with temperate conditions provide the best chance for discovering habitable worlds and life outside the Solar System. In the last decades, new instrumental facilities…
A candidate short-period sub-Earth orbiting Proxima Centauri
J. P. Faria, A. Suárez Mascareño, P. Figueira +34
Proxima Centauri is the closest star to the Sun. This small, low-mass, mid M dwarf is known to host an Earth-mass exoplanet with an orbital period of 11.2 days within the habitable…
EOS: Atmospheric Radiative Transfer in Habitable Worlds with HELIOS
Paolo Simonetti, Giovanni Vladilo, Laura Silva +5
We present EOS, a procedure for determining the Outgoing Longwave Radiation (OLR) and top-of-atmosphere (TOA) albedo for a wide range of conditions expected to be present in the at…
The Rossiter-McLaughlin effect Revolutions: An ultra-short period planet and a warm mini-Neptune on perpendicular orbits
V. Bourrier, C. Lovis, M. Cretignier +34
Comparisons of the alignment of exoplanets with a common host star can be used to distinguish among concurrent evolution scenarios. However, multi-planet systems usually host mini-…
